Wild ponies on the Chincoteague barrier island along the Virginia coastline. The original horses were left behind during shipwrecks by Spanish explorers in the late 1500’s.
The original breed are thought to have been short work horses from the Mediterranean islands.
Today there are numerous small herds living on federal land/parks on several islands.

Lovely black and white shot! 😄 really nice composition and love the contrast between the white and greys!
Thanks 😊😊. The lighter colors in the ponies helped too.
